Senatorial N0bodies not Wanted.


Ex-senator Camden, of West Vir-
ginia, is reported to take his recent de-
feat very hard So does Ex-senator
Warner Miller, of New York. These men
who get taste of public life dislike
greatly to leave it. But why should such
Senators as Camden and Miller feel that
Mr.. Miller is much the ADLER man of the
two, but in the great State of New York
it is easy to find his superior. An able
and faithful man should be continued in
office, but the rule is carried much too
far when it is made to include mediocre
ties and nobodies. MIR. Camden was
complete cipher in the Senate. He was
neither known nor felt in the legislation.
He stood for corporation interests, and
that was all. West Virginia did good
days work when she made a change i'm

corruption of money does the history of
this same Union Pacific corporation fur

ago one of the staunchest critics and as
sailants of the power of railroad cor

was fearless in his attacks upon the ras-
cally methods by which railroad wreck
ers and Spectators acquired their for
tunes. To spike his guns he was made
President of the Union Pacific road.

The evictions at Bodyke, Ireland, are
characterized by brutality on the part
of the police which is a shame to Great
Britain and can not help but make the
Coercion Bill more unpopular. To read
that young woman was knocked down
for denouncing the violence of tire evic-
tors and of attacks on houses containing
only women and children is to make the

When about 400 yards of string had been
paid out che Yessup BOY asked his father
to write a message and send it up the
kite. The old man sat down and wrote
this:
Send some rain. YESsUP.
The message climbed up the string. A
bird circling high in the air winged its
way to the bit of paper, which it pecked
viciously. An hour later the kite was
hauled in by the boy. The paper vas in

BAD PENMANSHIP.

Teachers of penmanship may make
good use of the following incident: A
young lad who was pupil at Rugby
School was noted for his bad penmar-
ship. When his teachers demonstrated,
he replied: Many men of genius have
written worse scrawls than I write. 1t
is not worth while to worry about SO
trivial fault
Ten years later this lad was an officer
in the English army doing service in the
Crimean war. An order he copied for
transmission was SO illegible that it was
given incorrectly to the troops, and the
result was the loss of great many brave
men. Whatever ia worth doing at all, is
worth doing WELL

THE TRADING RATS.

Studies in natural history, calculated
to excite the wonder of young student,
abound in the western regions of Amer
lea. I know I was vastly entertained
during trip through Arizona and New
Mexico, by my own observation OF the
mountain rats popularity known there as
trading rats" I used to lie awake
sometimes in order to watch their pranks
by the light of my campfire. Their an
tics and gambols reminded me of young
kittens at play. They often appeared to
be at game of "tag." They looked like
common rats save that they we're lighter
in color, their tails shorter and thicker
and their noses less pointed. They live
in hollow trees and in the rocks.
But the very funny thing is that,
though they are born thieves, little KEEP
tomaniacs, every one, they always return
something in the place Of every article
taken away; and queer thing, too, is the
fact that they rarely steal articles of food
One night felt slight stir about my
head. Cautiously opening my eyes 1
saw one of these rats Juggling manfully
at my. saddle, which was using as
pillow. AS the saddle was one of the.
California style and weighed about thirty
pounds, the efforts of the little rascal
seemed to be very ambitious for an ami
nal of his size. They take away car
tridges, knives and forks, or anything
else they can carry. have been told by
an old prospector that he had a whole
outfit Of such things rustled a. e.
stolenj in one night, and that various
objects were returned in their place.
Articles taken from one place have
been found in shanty twenty miles die-
tant. I met one day at a railway sta
ton an old ranchman who lived at
least twenty miles from the road, and
CHANGING to speak OF these rats, he said:
" I found in my shack the other day
quite a collection of spoons, forks and
knives, hid under pile OF rubbish that
had been brought there by the little
thieves. Where they came from 1 don't
know, but do know that they carried off
in turn whole box of 1915 Winchester
cartridges" 1 laughed and replied, well,
I have your cartridges; and you probably
have my spoons, for out of dozen [
have only two left. And as the car
tridges will not fit my Sharps 40 70 they
are no use to me, SO if you will bring the
spoons to Films store, I'll see that the
cartridges are left there, and you can get
them" The exchange was effected in
the course Of a few days; and the spoons
proved to be mine, aud the cartridges his.

THE OYSTER AND HIS SHELL

THE OYSTER AND HIS SHELL.
Prof. Samuel Lockwood, in a recent
lecture before the New York microscopic
society, answered the question asked by
the fool in king Lear:" "Canst tell how
an oyster makes his SHELF" He starts at
the hinge end, at the spot known to
chronologists as the jumbo GA small
plate or single scale now represents each
valve, and that is the first seasons growth.
The next seas on new growth or plate
shoots out from beneath the first one,
just as shingles do. The oystermen call
these laps or plate Shoots and they
claim that the number of shoots indi-
cate the years Of the oyster. They GER
tainly do contain record of the seasons,
showing the slow-growing and the fast
growing seasons. 1 have hkened these
shoots to shingles. Now at the gable OF
house the single may be seen edge
wise; so on the side of an oyster-shell is
a series of lines. This is the edgewise
view OF the shoots or season.growths.
Another factor is the purple spot or scar
in the interior of the shell. 1t is the
place of attachment of the sbductor mus
Gle. It's first place of attachment was
close up to the hinge. Had it stayed there
until the shell had become adult, how
difficult would be the task Of pulling the
valves together. The leverage to be over
come would be so great; for we must
bear in mind the fact, that at the fringe
end the valves are held by this black lig-
ament, which is in life elastic, swelling
when the shell opens, and being com.
pressed when the animal draws the valves
together. So, with every years growth
or elopgation of the shell, the mollusk
moves the place of attachment of the
muscle onward; that is, in advance far
ther from the hinge. AS it does so, it
covers up with white naere ali the scars
that are back o. the one in actual use as
the point OF attachment OF the muscle"
To make the similitude of the oysters
shoots or the season growths with the
shingles on a roof complete, sit would be
necessary for the bottom shiDgle on the
roof to underlis all the rest of the series;
so of the second, and so on with the rest.
In this way lie the shoots or laps of the
oysters shell. The last one deposited
underlies them all, and every one termin-
